MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, September 21,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> similar except these will be larger. Steadman indicated these outlots would be over 200 feet and parking <br /> would be strictly by boat access. <br /> Lemke noted that is a separate issue and the Planning Commission is not looking at that tonight. <br /> Leskinen asked if the Planning Commission desires any additional information from the applicant. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the majority of the neighborhood has stipulated they are okay with the development and <br /> that it looks like the developer will make his best efforts to make some accommodations around the <br /> construction process. Schoenzeit stated when you consider property rights, the accommodations are as <br /> much as the Planning Commission can ask for. <br /> Leskinen stated she read through the Conservation Design Report and that in her view it is well thought <br /> out and the Planning Commission does not need anything more with that. <br /> Lemke stated in his view the temparary road does not make much sense from a conservation standpoint or <br /> from a safety standpoint, but that he would encourage the developer to talk to the residents and provide <br /> them with the details. <br /> It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that a temporary access road should not be required. <br /> Thiesse asked if the City has any experts that can become involved with the traffic issues. Thiesse stated <br /> one thing that works on large construction sites is the three to seven mile an hour speed limit. <br /> Gaffron stated Staff can ask the City's engineers to comment on it and that they may have a traffic expert <br /> on staf£ Gaffron stated in his view the limitations on hours is important and that the engineer could look <br /> at the speed limit or signage. Gaffron indicated Staff will discuss that with the city engineers to see if <br /> they can address it. <br /> Leskinen stated in her view it is an important recommendation but that it is not something to hold the <br /> application up for. <br /> Lemke stated he would still like to see some exploration of some type of traffic control on Shoreline <br /> Drive. <br /> Gaffron questioned whether construction work should be allowed on Sundays. <br /> Landgraver stated he does like the suggestion to not have construction on Sunday and that in his view that <br /> would be a good compromise. Landgraver stated it sounds like the homeowners association is impressed <br /> with how reasonable the developer is,but that in his view there are some smaller details that could be <br /> discussed with the residents, such as signage and hours. <br /> Thiesse stated if no construction is allowed on Sundays,the residents should be aware that the project <br /> may be slightly extended. <br /> Leskinen stated she echoes those comments and would strongly encourage the residents to enter into a <br /> dialogue with the developer. <br /> Page 9 of 46 <br />
